Can't get mmm-calendarext3 - customEvents to display the changed events, or more than 9 days.

Everything seems to be working, but I am having one issue.

I have repeating events, that are “All Day” events.

Then the week of the event I change the event on the google calendar to be for a specific time of day.

When I do this, I see both the repeating “All Day” and the Specific time events. (so double events on the same day) It also doesn’t read the new times that I have put into the google calendar.

I don’t even know where to start to look for a solution for this.

Attached is a screen shot of the calendar, and for example, on January 28, all 3 are duplicate entries.

@cheminge did you put on the fixes for calendar?
are you running MagicMirror version 2.30, many calendar fixes

if you are, i want the event that you modified
before and after dumped from your ics data

curl -sL the-cal-url >somefile.txt

edit , find the event

BEGIN:VEVENT
.
.
END:VEVENT

cheminge

Yes, I think I have 2.30 and many calendar fixes installed…

Here is they entry for one of the entries on the 1-28-25 (duplicate of the “Alyce” entry)

@cheminge can you show me the output of

cd ~/MagicMirror 
git branch

sdetweil

@cheminge are you in the ny timezone too?

sdetweil

@cheminge ok, the RRULE rule is that the extracted event MUST match the event its extracted from

you have a full day RRULE

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250128
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250129
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;WKST=SU;INTERVAL=2;BYDAY=TU

and then extracted one instance

DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250131T103000
DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250131T113000

by RULE, this will be FORCED to a fullday event
as the source event is fullday

similarly if
the event is date/time
then the extracted MUST be date/time

AND its bi weekly, so the extracted event is ignored. as its not on a week boundary
(the RRULE cycle bi weekly and ONLY on TUESDAY)
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;WKST=SU;INTERVAL=2;BYDAY=TU

the tie between the events is the UID field
UID:m6rjo4c4r97p3jm4i84aiud6ld_R20250128@google.com
the calendar tool should have changed the UID field
to make this a standalone event
but left it as part of the recurrence,
RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:
got to be one or the other… match the RRULE or be separate

This is what I get:

cheminge

@sdetweil

yes, I am in the New York time zone.

sdetweil

@cheminge did you see my analysis of the events you posted

cheminge

@sdetweil

Yes I see your analysis.

Are you saying that the calendar tool (google) is not separating the event out and making it a new UID?

I still don’t know how to get around that.

When I confirm, should I make a new event and then delete the repeating event for that day?
